Docker Compose
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
|
|
With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services.
|
|
Then, using a single command, you create and start all the services
|
|
from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose
|
|
see [the list of features](docs/index.md#features).
|
|
|
|
Compose is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as
|
|
CI workflows. You can learn more about each case in
|
|
[Common Use Cases](docs/index.md#common-use-cases).
|
|
|
|
Using Compose is basically a three-step process.
|
|
|
|
1. Define your app's environment with a `Dockerfile` so it can be
|
|
reproduced anywhere.
|
|
2. Define the services that make up your app in `docker-compose.yml` so
|
|
they can be run together in an isolated environment:
|
|
3. Lastly, run `docker-compose up` and Compose will start and run your entire app.
|
|
|
|
A `docker-compose.yml` looks like this:
|
|
|
|
web:
|
|
build: .
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "5000:5000"
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- .:/code
|
|
links:
|
|
- redis
|
|
redis:
|
|
image: redis
|
|
|
|
For more information about the Compose file, see the
|
|
[Compose file reference](docs/compose-file.md)
|
|
|
|
Compose has commands for managing the whole lifecycle of your application:
|
|
|
|
* Start, stop and rebuild services
|
|
* View the status of running services
|
|
* Stream the log output of running services
|
|
* Run a one-off command on a service
|
|
